[web2py] py4web - Deployment on GCloud (aka Google App Engine)
Hi all, Not a question but a tip for others experimenting with py4web on GCP App Engine. Following the instructions in the _documentation, after a few failed attempts to access my app (with 502 and 404 errors), I modified the deploy command in the Makefile by adding the --promote flag to make it : gcloud app deploy app.yaml --promote I'm ready to build out my first py4web app ! Might be worth adding this to the script and/or documentation.

[web2py] Re: When to use jQuery.ajax or $.web2py.component ?
Thank you Anthony,
I have read that section many times, and I'll probably go back and read it
again as javascript is not my strong point.
Perhaps I'm getting component confused with a component plugin, which may
require a view to "LOAD" it. Using the looser definition, a callback
function (controller) is still a component that can be called by
$.web2py.component.
Maybe Massimo was just using that approach for demonstration / education
purposes. If both are relevant, I'll try the $.web2py.component until I
find a situation where I get stuck. I'll try and rewrite that section of
reddit_clone as an example.

Hi,
trying to find out more about $.web2py.component, but it's not in the book.
Chapter 11 mentions web2py_ajax_component but it isn't mentioned in
Chapter 12 as indicated. An old reference perhaps.
Anthony, I don't understand "If you want to dynamically add a component in
the browser, you cannot use the LOAD helper" as the example also
includes a {{= }}. Then again, I don't really understand javascript
either.
When to use LOAD or $.web2py.component ?

Another thing is, when user edits the ticket, he should again see

Is this possible? I'm a bit confused, because LOAD works fine, but not

[web2py] Re: json to D3 graph
This may not be the crucial hint, but I noticed that your flare is a list (array). If you checkout the structure at: https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Cluster-Layout you see that its a dict (or object). Try removing the [] around your flare definition. Secondly: Where I have used XML(json... in the controller it has been to produce a standaoone .json output from web2py, I then create an independent view that then uses the d3.json function to read the json output. That is the approach that mostly matches the majority of d3 examples. This works if you want to separate your data sources (thinking independent data api) from your presentation views. The other approach is to use the variables, which you've done. There may be more than one way to do this but this has worked for me: 1. Change your flare definition to be a dict. remove the [] 2. Change your controller output to be return locals(). 3. In your view , in the

[web2py] Re: D3.js calling Json in View
good work. data just refers to the dictionary. When you open up your json file you just see a dictionary with one key that points to an array. By saying data.dashboard_data you are then directly referencing the value of the key, ie. the array in the dictionary. There are several ways to do this which I must post to web2pyslices soon, but yours is one of them, and it works ! web2py with d3 is a good combo. I plan to do a lot more with the two combined.

[web2py] Re: D3.js calling Json in View
I'm not at a desktop machine so I'll be brief. D3 expects an array, you have provided a dict. When you reference "data" such as in the foreach, try data.dashboard_data which will reference the array. Syntax is probably not quite correct. Also, if you're not sure add console.log stmts to show the data. I used this a lot to better understand what's happening and to debug. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.

[web2py] Dynamic, User customisable DAL connection parameters
Hello,
I am building a web2py app which is an admin interface for an exisitng
application with its own database. I will define all of the other app's
tables with migrate=False.
I would like the setting of the DAL connection parameters for this database
to be a part of the web2py application.
Problem is that I will not know the password, or even the user, and these
need to be updatable by the end user. So I can't let web2py try to connect
until I have these set.
Looking for feedback on the following approach. It works (so far) but
wondering if there is a simpler approach or a pattern that has already been
worked out ?
1) I have defined the DAL and tables for the user's app in a models
subfolder, so that the initial web2py connection will not immediately try
to connect to this database.
2) I have a 0conn.py model file, something like:
CONN_FUNCTION='localconn'
if session.localconn:
# Good news, I already have the connection details as a session
variable.
pass
elif not session.redir:
#redirect to the screen with the form to specify the connection details
, and update the session parameters
#set redir to True so that it doesn't start an infinite loop of
redirects each time the model is called.
session.redir = True
redirect(URL('LocalTD', 'default', CONN_FUNCTION))
elif session.redir and request.function == CONN_FUNCTION:
# This is a proper redirect to the conn setting, let it go
pass
else:
print "This should really be a redirect, what's going on ?"
print "I have a session.localtdconn: %s, redir : %s" %
(session.localtdconn, session.redir)
3) in the standard SQLITE db.py I have defined a connection table that
stores all of the connection parameters.
The function CONN_FUNCTION (from above) has a form that retrieves this
info and allows the user to update it. if the form is accepted, it will
also set the session variables.
CONN_FUNCTION is called the first time the app is opened to confirm the
connection details, update the table if necessary, and sets the session
variables.
4) finally my models/local.py model file specifies DAL something like:
dbc = DAL('drivername'://DSN=session.localconn['dsn']; \
UID=session.localconn['dbuser']; \
PWD=session.localconn['pwd'];
etc.
This model file should only be called if the session.localconn variable
is already set.
Any comments on this apprach ?
Thanks
Andrew W

[web2py] Re: Incompatibility with web2py's calendar.js and d3.js
Update: I applied a fix from the d3 post by adding this to my
[web2py] Incompatibility with web2py's calendar.js and d3.js
Date parsing in d3 doesn't work with web2py when running the default calendar.js. d3.time.format().parse() I've just hit this specific issue, using d3 with web2py (date parsing in d3 fails), using web2py 2.8.2. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/d3-js/d3.time.format.parse/d3-js/dSOl8BBcGfw/A_yb0blePyIJ and I also found this web2py issue involving moment.js which had the same cause; that calendar.js overwrites setFullYear. http://osdir.com/ml/web2py/2012-12/msg01573.html which resulted in an issue: *http://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/detail?id=1243*<http://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/detail?id=1243> "It appears that calendar.js redefined the Date.setFullYear function of the JS Date object. " This issue was resolved in Dec 2012 "The fix involves preventing the re-definition of the methods and creating new ones, as needed by calendar.js." Any more details on the fix for this? Should I reopen this issue or is there something that has to be done in web2py to work around this ? Note that I commented out calendar.js from the web2py_ajax.html and everything then works as expected.

[web2py] Re: odbc error question, when running scheduler_test app.
Apparently MSSQL ODBC does an implicit DEALLOCATE for cursors, whereas Teradata doesn't.I'm testing a new close() method for the Teradata Adapter that does a self.connection.cursor.close() as well. So far so good. No reason why this couldn't be done in general (explicit close for each open) but I'll get it working for Teradata for now.

What I think is happening is that each new request is creating a new cursor, possibly with existing connections from the pool. At the end of the request the cursor is not closed and stays open.After a few requests the number of cursors builds up for the connection, and pretty soon the 16 cursor limit is reached. I think what is missing is that at the end of a request there should be a self.cursor.close(), or for the DAL: self._adapter.cursor.close(). Where is dal.py does a connection get returned to the pool when the request is finished ? Given that a connection is meant to have a single curror, in the case of pyodbc, should methods like commit, rollback, and close be at the cursor level, not the connection level ? I think a workaround is to not set pool_size, thereby getting a new session with only one cursor each time, but this will be a lot slower. Sorry if this has turned into more of a developer post.

[web2py] Re: odbc error question, when running scheduler_test app.
I've found out that a cursor maps to a odbc hstmt. I also found out that Teradata supports 16 open result sets (hstmt) for each session. So it appears that web2py is reusing the same database session for multiple simultaneous requests, or isn't closing them correctly before starting the next request. To rephrase my question a bit, Does a web2py connection equate to a database session ? Does a new request reserve a connection until it's complete, i.e another request can't issue database statements simultaneously on the same connection ? So, I think the closing of a connection, or the returning of it to the pool, is not working properly on Teradata. Perhaps the cursors are staying open and new cursors are created instead of reusing the existing ones (with pool_size>0). I see there is a self._adapter.close() line in dal.py (line 8056) so I may need to add something to the TeradataAdapter to make this more robust. Does that sound right ? Thanks. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.

[web2py] odbc error question, when running scheduler_test app.
Hello,
I've hit an odbc error using the Scheduler_Test app against an experimental
instance on Teradata.
When I turn on the scheduler monitoring I sometimes get:
Error: ('HY000', '[HY000] [Teradata][ODBC Teradata Driver] Beyond
SQL_ACTIVE_STATEMENTS limit')
I've improved things a bit by setting a pool_size and increasing the scheduler
poll interval but it still occurs. I think the time to complete a login on
Teradata (on my system anyway) may contribute - perhaps the next poll cycle
comes up while the last one is still running.
I've found that it has to do with the hstmt limit being reached in the odbc
driver. Not really sure what that means.
*This isn't necessarily a web2py, scheduler, or pyodbc error, but maybe one of
controlling the odbc activity to within limits. Has anyone seen this before
and been able to manage it ?It may be a limitation in the Teradata odbc driver
that may limit its effectiveness for high concurrency web apps.*
*Thanks*
*Andrew W*

[web2py] Re: Scheduler question
Hi Niphlod,
If I could add to the questions (I'm having some success with the scheduler
but there's a few gaps in my understanding):
What process removes the rows from the scheduler_worker table ?
Does it make any difference to Kill a worker by updating it's status or by
just Ctl-C (Or closing the window in Windows) to stop the task ?
I have one worker row with a status of KILL. The scheduler worker process
has stopped correctly. Does there need to be at least one active worker
to clean up this table ? Will this row be removed when I restart a worker
instance?
What happens when I have several Assigned Tasks, but the worker to which
they are assigned is Killed ? Will they be reassigned automatically ?
Does KILLing a worker terminate the task that the worker is running as well
as the specific worker instance ? I expect so but to be clear there are
two things running - the worker instance, and the specific task that the
worker has initiated. Some of the wording talks about the worker task,
but is that referring to both or just one of these two processes ?
Probably just a general web2py question, but I have a menu item that calls
a controller which runs " scheduler.queue_task(" . Unfortunately I get
two rows inserted into scheduler_task and i can't work out why. The
controller appears to be called twice.
Thanks

One more question if I may (I still don't get it): I am also replacing an existing website with a new web2py site. I've found links on other websites that still need to work with the new website. If someone clicks on an old link such as "mydomain.com/aboutus.html", I would like it to redirect and find my new page at (with full url) "mydomain.com/init/default/index/aboutus. It is not obvious (to me) after looking at router_example.py and the book. Do I need to use the pattern based approach for this ? thanks Andrew W On Friday, January 11, 2013 11:29:25 AM UTC+13, Andrew W wrote: > > Yes, I think you're correct.

Can we generate a txt file in web2py. And can we print formatted strings to it?

[web2py] I don't get routes.py
Hi all, Did we prune some content out of the book on this ? I'm sure there was more before. This is a line out of the Services chapter, talking about exactly what I need to know: "yet this is a matter of test and we have already discussed it at length in chapter 4." But we haven't discussed it in Chapter 4. It's been removed !? Anyway, for my auth.wiki app, I don't want people to see this: http://www.myweb2pywebsite.com/init/default/index/my_wiki_page I want them to see: http://www.myweb2pywebsite.com/my_wiki_page, or maybe with the index in there too. How do I do it ? P.S. If we mention Chapter numbers in the book, should we also include them on the chapter index ? Thanks Andrew W --

[web2py] Re: auth.wiki deployment issue
I'll answer my own questions :) :
It's because the wiki page saves the body (user entered content) and the
generated html separately. The html has not been regenerated.
How do I get it to regenerate all of the pages after deployment in the new
environment ?
Thanks

[web2py] auth.wiki deployment issue
Hi,
I need some help please. I've just deployed my first auth.wiki app. I'll
let you know what it is once it's working properly.
I've deployed to HostGator using web2py 2.3.2 (and the posts in this forum
on the subject were very helpful).
Using render='markmin'
Everything was looking good on my local machine. But I have two issues:
1) The problem is that all of my page links point back to 127.0.0.1.
Something like @products on the menu works fine, but as a link on the
page it looks for 127.0.0.1.
and 2) I have @{component:default/contact_details.load} on one page, which
works fine locally, but I get an invalid request on the deployed app.
I've cleaned the app before deploying, removed any .pyc files, and checked
that I haven't hardcoded anything.
I did change the app folder name to init on the deployed server (wonder if
that has anything to do with it).
Thanks

Trunk.

[web2py] Getting Apache 2.4 to work on Suse Linux
Hi all, Just a note on Apache that may help others: I've battled for days with getting web2py working with apache (2.4) on a Suse linux server. I kept on getting Forbidden errors. I eventually stumbled onto the "Require all granted" statement - once I added this then everything works fine. # I don't need the next line # Allow from all # The following line is REQUIRED (for me anyway) Require all granted So, Does the documentation need updating ? I assume it has worked as is for others. Perhaps is should be as there are obviously situations when it is required. I can comment out the "Allow from all" and it still works. Is this just for Apache 2.4 as opposed to version 2.2 ? --

Re: [web2py] Re: Auth.wiki() documentation
Hi Alan, I have been checking out auth.wiki to see what can be done, in particular how to get different page layouts within the one "index" controller and view. Would you wrap something like this example (from the slice) in an if clause ? Or, I imagine you could use this scenario for boilerplate text in your view for all web pages, with slugs like "header", "footer", "standard_text". content = db(db.wiki_page.slug=="index").select().first().body P.S.

[web2py] Re: auth.wiki( extra=dict() )
Just an update to the group. It's not a bug, just (me) typing it
incorrectly.
This is a very good feature when you want to allow a website editor to add
some style to their content. I've got a few simple things in mind.
Hopefully to add to the auth.wiki documentation, here is an example:
I want to make a few specific customisations available to the website
editors:
return auth.wiki(render='markmin', extra=dict(custom1=lambda text:
'' + text + '',
custom2=lambda text:
'' + text + '',
custom3=lambda text:
'' + text + '') )
I added the following to my layout.html page, or better still in a css file.
#blahid1 {color:green;}
.blahclass2 {color:blue; border: 1px solid black; }
.blahclass3 {color: steelblue; border: 1px solid orange;}
and then edited my page in the auth.wiki editor. The body was:
# A H1 Header
## A H2 Header
``Hello1 Custom tagged``:custom1
``Hello2 Custom tagged``:custom2
-``Custom list also tagged``:custom3
``Some Python Code ``:python
Some more plain text
-
A normal block
-:myblockclass
which gives me the following screen (attached).
<https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-WblLlpW7QqA/ULaNML_x3ZI/AAc/vI-TDMcSkFg/s1600/Screen+Shot+29-11-12+at+11.15.19+AM.png>
Not very pretty (yet) but it proves how to add extra customised style to
your auth.wiki page.
I hope to show it in use very soon.

[web2py] Re: Where does auth.wiki save pages to?
But I think you need to differentiate between the wiki static pages, and "blog" type of article pages.I think the intent of auth.wiki was to allow the simple creation of a user updated website, not so much with blog type articles pages. But that's an interesting way to get both. What about if your articles had an "article" tag that you could add to your search. You only want to see the top 10 articles, you don't want to see a static page that you created recently. Would the above be the best way to achieve this. Other ideas?

Re: [web2py] Database table prefix
What about a "prefix" column, and filter all selects on the prefix. A single database ctructure sounds more scalable and logically you're partitioning the data based on login or context. Prefixing table names doesn't sound like a good idea. --

[web2py] The book updates and status
The book has been at 4th edition for a while and I'm sure there have been updates since then. The edition numbers may tick over at major updates,but is it possible to put a last update date on it to tell when it has changed. One thing we talked about before version 2 was getting the doco up to date ASAP, we even talked about delaying the release, or at least it's announcement till that was done. I'm not sure if that has actually happened yet (completely) Eg. Waiting to see updates around replacing plugin_wiki with auth.wiki (I think that's the strategy). I would like to deploy an app soon using it but its not quite there yet. Happy to help too. Thanks --
Re: default vs not-default (was Re: [web2py] perhaps a silly question about index)
Have you read the Overview chapter of the book? To achieve what you want you would not put controllers in the model folder, they go in the controllers folder. The default/index in the path refers to the file name and the function within the file name. So green/eggs/ham.refers to the green app, the eggs controller file (in the controller folder), and the ham function. Have as many controller files as you like, I use more than one. The displayed URL you mention is achieved through routing, not by moving controller files. --
[web2py] Re: auth.wiki( extra=dict() )
I'm assuming it works differently to the markmin document.I can see is
adds a class called "custom", but I don't see the lambda function working
as in:
>>> markmin2html("‘‘aaa‘‘:custom", extra=dict(custom=lambda text:
’x’+text+’x’
generates
’xaaax’
(the ‘‘...‘‘:custom block is rendered by the custom=lambda function passed
to render).

Yes, it's broken: AttributeError: 'Wiki' object has no attribute 'extra'
I made the change below and it works.

Does the plugin_wiki syntax work in auth.wiki ? (I'll try it tonight).
>From the book (plugins section):
For example, to embed a YouTube video in a plugin_wiki page, you can do
``

code: l7AWnfFRc7g
``:widget
or to embed the same widget in a web2py view, you can do:

[web2py] videos not working in auth.wiki page
Is anyone using video links with auth.wiki ? I'm just getting the bottom bar with the Play button, but nothing else and nothing happens when I press Play. I did have success with plugin_wiki, but I would like to get it up and running with auth.wiki. I've tried with Chrome and Safari. Thanks --
[web2py] Re: how to hide the [wiki] menu option in auth.wiki
Works great, thanks. I've also sent Massimo a patch for tools.py to fix
it in trunk.
I hope to deploy a website soon using auth.wiki and this was one of my last
hurdles.

[web2py] Re: how to hide the [wiki] menu option in auth.wiki
>
> Hello,
I still think the "[Wiki]" should not be displayed if you are not logged
in. A wiki administrator would be logged in. The general public don't
need to see it.
The change is a little more complicated than I first suggested. There is
more happening after the "if self.auth.user: " code block at tools.py, line
5088 that I think should be inside the auth.user check. Shouldn't "Manage
Pages" appear only to authorised users ?
By the way, why have "if True: " (line 5085) . Wouldn't that happen all
the time ?
I can post this to the developer group if more appropriate.
Thanks.

Yes, there are a lot of advantages, but if your legacy tables can't be changed ? Is it worth exploring The addition of PK support in forms and the grid? Not the most optimised solution, but one that you may have to do. --
